I am not sure if this topic is covered under this list or not. The thread seems dead on the rhn-users list. Possible the wrong list as well. In short I am unable to compile modules for a custom kernel using the 2.4.18-14 source that comes with RH 8.0. I can compile other kernels, and kernel modules, just not the ones for a custom 2.4.18-14 kernel. I am pretty sure there is a problem some where. Although I do not know if that problem lies in the kernel-sources for 2.4.18-14 or in my machine? It's a fresh install and I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the kernel-sources.rpm. I am looking for a reason or simple a solution. Is there a problem with the sources, or is it me? Has anyone out there been able to compile a custom kernel, and kernel modules using the 2.4.18-14 source from RH? -----Forwarded Message----- > From: William L.
